Ta Shing Panda Boats Review and Specs

Designed by Robert Perry, the Panda 40 was built by Ta Shing, one of the premier yacht builders in the world.  A proven cruising design, Panda’s are safely carrying cruisers over the oceans of the world. She has comfortable motion, excellent performance, and just plain looks beautiful. The Baba 40, also known as the Panda 40 and later the Tashiba 40, is the third of the Baba lineup of boats involving developer Bob Berg, designer Bob Perry, and the Ta Shing boatyard. One can arguably consider the Baba 40 a full keel reincarnation of the Valiant 40, the boat that put the word “performance” next to “cruiser”. Knowing that I guess it’s not so surprising to find the Baba 40 inherits a good turn of speed, owners even trumpet around-the-buoys racing victories in these serious blue water cruisers. They are beautifully balanced with a wonderful feel at the helm, what’s more, they have some of the best interiors to be seen in production cruising yachts. There are few boats in the resale world that have been kept in the condition of Valhalla. As one who has spent 55 years in the marine related businesses, and 32 years as a broker, there is a great thrill to one who loves and appreciates fine yachts. You will be hard pressed to find a yacht of this type and age that has been kept in a condition as near as one can get to Bristol. You who love traditional yacht owe yourself a visit to view a true cruiser that has been maintained to these standards. Virtually better than a new yacht, and priced at a small fraction of the price it would take to duplicate it in todays market.
